Family Times

Last Saturday some of our family got together to celebrate my lovely mother's birthday. We had dinner out on the patio, played on the neighborhood playground, and, of course, enjoyed some cake. It was a wonderful evening and made me feel very blessed to have so much of my family living close together.

Mom - I hope you had the best birthday. You are an amazing woman and I aspire to be as wonderful a mother as you have been, and continue to be, for me. I love you!

Such a good uncle!
